Gzesh (Stimmen) In der Lecture-Performance parodiert und inszeniert sich der denkende Leib; der gedankenverlorene Körper hebt an zur Unterbrechung herkömmlicher Kör- perdiskurse. Dabei werden “Körperdiskurse” vielmehr als Reden aus dem Körper heraus und durch ihn hindurch verstanden denn als Diskurse über den Körper. Nicht „the professor of parody” spielt hier Theater, sondern zur Körper-Satz-Musik improvisierend vollzieht sich eine Parodie des Pro- fessoralen, das vor dem phallischen “TQM” (Total Quality Management) zu Boden geht und kriecht. Das totale QM-Phantasma technokratischer Verwaltung des Denkens geißelt den Denkkörper und erstickt leib-seelische Kreativität ebenso wie kritisches Denken; doch der Denkkörper rebelliert transgenerisch, zuweilen unmerklich... ΝΑ ΜΗΝ ΖΗΣOΥΜΕ ΣΑΝ ΔΟΥΛΟΙ / Ne vivons plus comme des esclaves This lecture-performance is the mise en scène and parody of the thinking body, of the body lost in thoughts; it acts as an interruption of inherited body discourses. The body discourse is understood as a discourse by, through and out oft he body and not as one about the body. It is not “the professor of parody” on stage, but the improvisation of a parody of the professor, creeping on the floor and not/obeying the phallic phantasm of TQM (Total Quality Management), the dominant phantasm of the brave new world of academia, which is about to suffocate psychosomatic creativity as well as critical understanding. But the thinking body gets rebellious transcending the genres, sometimes subliminally… Let’s not live like slaves 4 Martina Cizek: Musikerin, Komponistin http://www.martina.cizek.at Alice Pechriggl: Philosophin, Gruppenpsychoanalytikerin, Universitätsprofessorin für Philosophie an der Universität Klagenfurt www.uni-klu.ac.at/philo/inhalt/282.htm Maria Vilkoviskaya and Ruth Jenderbekova Performance “Anthropometric data simply obtained” 0 5 Feb. 2015, 18.15 AULA The two performers symbolically represent process of power- production. While one of them remains silent body-object for scientific investigation, the other acts as instance of power which is authorized to scrutinize objects by making measurements and classify them by creating interpretations of the obtained data. In the process of measurements those data are being literally inscripted on the skin by marker. So the metaphor of the imposed surface inscriptions that constitute the body itself becomes visible through this performative act, during which the body-object gradually becomes the text which is written upon it and from which it is indistinguishable. Besides this reference to Foucault’s idea of the body being the site where regimes of discourse and power inscribe themselves, there is an obvious artistic hom- mage to a contemporary classic piece by Martha Rosler (1977), concerning objectification of women and others in a technological bureaucratic society. Duration: 15-20 min Maria Vilkovisky & Ruth Jenderbekova are the artistic trio consisting of two persons who practice contemporary performance in a wide sense of the term, including musical, literary, plastic and talking events, as well as organizing art-exhibitions and DJ-parties. Often appear under the label of “Creoleak Centr”. “Creoleak Centr” is an imaginary art-institution based in Almaty and also an open aesthetic-political platform for post-national cultural production workers. The title doesn’t refer to any Creole people but to a notion of cultural creolization. CC supports emerging global deterritorialized cosmo- political diaspora and its rather inauthentic traditions and artistical languages. 5 Creoleak methodology includes consistent erosion of identities, aiming a micro-political deconstruction of social hierarchies based on those identi- ties. Creoleak ideology thus tries to probe a common ground for new versions of non-totalizing weak universality (pluriversality), which would possess con- temporary feminist and decolonial sensitivity.
